UGA Football Weekend
Nice location, beautiful wooded waterfront property. Short ride to Athens where we took in a November football weekend. Beautiful welcome gifts, including fresh baked goods. Must be really nice in warmer weather.

Perfect large family retreat near Athens
We absolutely loved our day! David and Becky the owners are so friendly and accommodating! This house was perfect for our younger kids to go swimming and enjoy the outdoors. For the adults we mainly came so we could set up a tailgate at UGA. We also had the grandparents with us. The house is close enough to the university that people could easily make runs back-and-forth or if they wanted to leave the tailgate earlier they could just come and eat and head back to the house, and continue doing this wonderful retreat. But I honestly cannot say enough about the owners. We met them once we got there, and David continued to reach back out anytime we needed anything. He truly made this day. Absolutely perfect for us! Keep in mind that this house is a lake house in a quiet wooded area. There are some spiders and bugs that are unavoidable, especially around the pool area. But that’s totally expected given the setting. My youngest one absolutely loved looking at the spiders outside lol. The rooms in the house are huge! And the closet space in each room probably could fit a small air mattress or pack and play for infants. We will definitely be coming back again!
